Horse Education Activities Wanted!!

 We are looking for horse education activities for our upcoming camps! We would like to find activities  that special education students can participate in but that are "in depth" and time consuming also. We would love very interactive activities that can help the students learn about horses and also allow them to interact with horses and peers. 

If you think about any great interactive activities to learn about horses please send them our way so we can take a look and see if they would work for our campers!

Past examples of our horse education lessons have been: finger painting body parts of the horse, grooming, learning about tack, breeds, disciplines, markings and colorings. 

We appreciate any ideas that are submitted to us, because it eases our workload :)

Craft ideas wanted

Are you a "Pinterest-er??" We are looking for craft ideas for our upcoming camps! We would like to find crafts that special education students can participate in but that are "in depth" and time consuming also. We would like crafts that can be kept as keepsakes and are not overly costly.

So, if you come across some great craft ideas please send them our way so we can take a look and see if they would work for our campers!

We appreciate any ideas that are submitted to us, because it eases our workload :)

Auction Piece Ideas

Every year the 4-H Therapeuctic Adventure Camp of Orange (TACO) puts a piece into the Orange County Fair Auction to raise money for camp.

In the past we have done a wall quilt with campers art work. However last year the interest in the wall hanging quit declined. We are now looking for new ideas for an auction piece! We would prefer that it be something the campers can make or help make.

If you have any ideas we would appreciate everyone's input.
